ISIS reportedly claims credit for massive suicide bombing in Iran

The Islamic State terror group claimed responsibility on Thursday for two explosions in Iran that killed nearly 100 people and wounded scores at a memorial for top commander Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in Iraq in 2020 by a US drone . . .

The United States denied on Wednesday any involvement in the explosions and said it also had no reason to believe Israel was involved. It said the blasts appeared to represent “a terrorist attack” of the type carried out in the past by Islamic State.

The Pentagon claims that it has killed over 100 ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria in 2023.

Does that mean that the US and Iran are now allies in a common war against ISIS?

Or does it mean that the US and ISIS have made up their differences and are allies in the war against Iran?

Or are the reported claims from ISIS really part of a misinformation campaign to hide the real source of the attacks?

The US and Iran have both been enemies of ISIS, and each other. This is nothing new

Exactly, Iran and the Taliban had a long simmering struggle in Afghanistan long before 911. Shia Islam and Sunni Islam have a 1000 year plus conflict, with each considering the other heretics. The IRGC is very active against Sunni movements, especially ISIS. But lets not allow that reality to get in the way of another foolish observation.

This situation is like feral cats making noise outside. You can’t tell if they are fighting or screwing.

There is no one with clean hands. Alliances become feuds and feuds become alliances.

Impossible. Trump says he “100%” destroyed ISIS.

I doubt they did it for either party’s sake. They just can’t help themselves. They do two things really good, take credit for their attacks and ■■■■ goats. Now, they go back and do the latter.

Did you learn about triangles in geometry?

Only good terrorist is a dead terrorist. How they end up that way is immaterial to me.

Great little truck. I wish they still sold them here.

Toyota is fixing to launch a new truck that slots in under the Hilux in terms of price.

Only 10-12,000 dollars brand new depending on power train options. Another cool vehicle that we won’t get over here in the states even though that thing would fly out of the showroom. Even if they Americanized it (to meet our emissions and safety regulations) it would still sell for 20 grand or so. But then they couldn’t upsell the customer into a Tacoma or Tundra (both horribly overpriced) if those things were on the lot.

I suspect we will be seeing many of these in the fleets of future Terrorist groups. There’s a good reason Toyotas are the backbone of Jihad. And you know those animals don’t care for them or follow the maintenance schedule.

I just don’t understand how anyone could blame the U.S. or Israel for this deal. Suicide bombings are not our thing.

Wow 20k they would fly off the shelves here and if things got bad you can mount and anti aircraft cannon in the truck bed. They’re doing us wrong here.
